Property Tax Appeal
Your home may be
over-assessed.
Counties mass-appraise thousands of homes at once — and when they miss high, you overpay every year until someone objects. Boards don’t act on feelings or Zestimates. They act on evidence. Start with the $5 check: real assessment data, real comparable sales, and an honest verdict on what you’d save.
Built so you never overspend on an appeal
Most appeal services charge you before anyone checks whether you have a case. We flip it: cheap verdict first, appraisal only when the math works.
1. The $5 worth-it check
We pull your actual assessment and real comparable sales — not a quiz — and tell you honestly whether an appeal is worth pursuing. If it isn't, you're out $5, not hundreds.
2. The licensed appraisal
A "proceed" verdict quotes your exact price: $225 for a desktop appraisal on straightforward homes, $600–700 when the property needs a full workup. Your $5 is credited.
3. County-ready packaging
The report ships with a county-specific cover letter and a comparable-sales pack tuned to your jurisdiction’s evidence rules — the format your board of review actually weighs.
4. You file, you save
File before your county’s deadline with evidence a licensed appraiser signed. A corrected assessment carries forward — the savings repeat every year.
Appeal rights open when assessment notices go out and slam shut weeks later. If your notice just arrived, that’s your window. Rush delivery is available when a filing date is close.
County-specific, not one-size-fits-all
Deadlines, evidence rules, and filing channels differ county by county. These high-volume jurisdictions get fully tuned handling — and appeals everywhere else still work, with the appraiser filing guidance manually.
What the board sees
Evidence,
not opinion.
Most assessment appeals fail on evidence, not merit. Your package is built to be the strongest thing in the folder: a licensed opinion of value as of your county’s assessment date, with the documentation an assessor or board actually weighs.
- Signed, USPAP-compliant opinion of value
- Valued as of your county’s assessment date
- Comparable-sales grid with adjustments and citations
- County-specific assessor cover letter
- Photo exhibits from your walkthrough
- PDF + secure link, ready to file
We’re not an AVM, a computer model, or a real-estate agent estimate. Every report is prepared under the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) and signed by a licensed appraiser in your state — the same qualification required for mortgage appraisals.
An appraisal is evidence, not a guaranteed outcome — appeal boards decide appeals. The appraiser reports market value independently; nobody here inflates or deflates a number to win a case. That independence is exactly why boards take these reports seriously.
Tax appeal questions
Usually yes. The appraiser values the property as of your jurisdiction’s assessment/valuation date — often January 1 of the tax year, not today. We handle that automatically based on your county.
Yes. Every report is completed and signed by a state-licensed appraiser under USPAP — the standard boards of review and courts expect.
Then you don't buy an appraisal. The $5 check is designed to give you an honest no — real assessment data and comparable sales, not a sales funnel that always says yes.
No one can guarantee an appeal outcome — the board decides. What we deliver is the strongest evidence a homeowner can file: a licensed, USPAP-compliant appraisal packaged to your county’s rules.
Desktop tax-appeal reports typically deliver within 48–72 hours of your walkthrough — with rush options when a filing deadline is close.
Your phone walkthrough, public-record and MLS comparable sales, and your assessment. The appraiser selects and adjusts comps per your county’s requirements and signs an opinion of value.
